For a Turbo go Forged Cosworth rod and pistons. You can go a cosworth crank, but the Pinto version is fine. Get the Flywheel doweled to the crank. Thats about it for the bottom end...

Any Escort Performance place in your state will get it for you. This is becoming a common conversion for the old Pinto.

If you're in Perth, put an add in the wanted section for a pinto fuel injection manifold with the ecu. Didnt take me even a day to get a reply. Didnt end up taking it so its probably still out there... Hehehe got a nice 465 holley instead.
